Hello faithful readers of The Wisdom of Dre. A few weeks back, I began an online program with Florida State University to complete the education requirement to become a Certified Financial Planner. The course work should take a little over a year and I will then be eligible to take the CFP board examine. Obtaining the CFP designation is approximately on par with the professional designation of being a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Long term, my goal is to get into financial planning/advising/counseling as a profession so this is a step in that direction. If you ever have any financial types of questions, please feel free to throw them my way as I really enjoy this type of thing.

Other than knowing about this new endeavor, this affects you by the possible reduction in frequency of posts. I still maintain a goal of one post per week but the volume of reading required by the program is proving fairly ginormous and may slow down the amount of wisdom, fun, musings, and miscellaneous pursuits seen here. Keep checking back though, I plan to be in action with relative frequency.
